Datamined Broadcast Text and Audio for Patch 7.3.5 (Spoilers!!) - Fri, 01 Dec 2017 19:00:58 -0600It is time for the mega-spoiler post, covering all of the datamined broadcast text for Patch 7.3.5 which hints at many story arcs! There are a lot of dialogue files, so keep checking back as we find more and reorganize the post!

7.3.5 PTR - Heritage Armor Set Models - Fri, 01 Dec 2017 14:48:36 -0600For leveling an Allied Race to 110, without any level boosts, you are awarded a special Heritage Armor Set. We saw an early preview of these sets at BlizzCon, and now we have screenshots of the armor models.

Heritage Armor sets are awarded at 110, along with a Feat of Strength.

Each Allied Race has a unique set, reflecting their culture.

These sets are cosmetic, they can be transmogged onto Cloth/Leather/Mail/Plate armor for that Allied Race character.

7.3.5 PTR Speculation - Whispers of Il'gynoth (Spoilers!) - Fri, 01 Dec 2017 13:34:41 -0600With the 7.3.5 Patch datamining, more loose ends from the story that connects Legion and Battle for Azeroth are starting to get explained, as we discover more about what happens following the Aftermath of Antorus. In this post we will speculate what will possibly happens during 7.3.5 and even at the end of Battle for Azeroth, based on the already famous Whispers of Il'gynoth, but now using information from datamined broadcast text recently found in patch 7.3.5.

Several maps listed below have interesting names, like Shadow of Azeroth, Forge of Aeons, and Maw of N'Zoth. Previously we speculated that Battle for Azeroth had lots of Old Gods hints, and wasn't just about the Alliance and Horde.

Highmountain Tauren Questline Broadcast Text (Spoilers!) - Fri, 01 Dec 2017 06:34:38 -0600The Highmountain Tauren are a new Allied Race that has been datamined on the 7.3.5 PTR. We also datamined some dialogue text with yesterday's PTR build that provides a good look at the Highmountain quest chain.

Please note that this is based on datamined broadcast text and may be subject to change -- playing through the content on the PTR, when its available, will add much more context to these quotes.

Highmountain Tauren are an Allied Race unlocked in Battle for Azeroth. Playable classes are Horde Warrior, Hunter, Shaman, Monk, Druid. You can play around with some Highmountain Tauren customization options in our modelviewer.

Void Elf

Male:

What am I into? Let's just say some of my proclivities can run a bit... dark. I do my best work in the shadows. Allow me to demonstrate. The Void has taught me many secrets. Some of them can be most... satisfying.

7.3.5 PTR - New Zone and Dungeon Scaling Levels - Thu, 30 Nov 2017 18:17:25 -0600During BlizzCon 2017, Blizzard shared their plan to improve the overall leveling experience using Zone Scaling in old world zones. Now that the 7.3.5 PTR is live, we can see how these level bands work.

7.3.5 PTR - The Wound in the World Updates (Spoilers) - Thu, 30 Nov 2017 17:22:00 -0600As we learned earlier this week, with the fall of Argus, Sargeras stuck his monstrous sword in Azeroth, more precisely in Silithus. While, for characters that have already killed Argus in any difficulty, Silithus is mostly red and empty, this has changed on 7.3.5 PTR and the healing process seems to have begun, which has awaken new powers in the zone, sprouting the first Azerite nodes.

The effort to heal Azeroth and to collect Azerite has begun in Silithus, now a level 110 zone.

Powerlevel Pets with Squirt on NA Realms for November 30th - Thu, 30 Nov 2017 10:46:22 -0600Squirt is now up in the Garrison on NA realms for November 30th!

With Squirt up, you can repeatedly farm this Menagerie battle with one main pet and two "carry" pets that need experience. If you do this on an alt below level 110, you can get some actual leveling experience as well.

The Elevator Boss Has Leveled Up in Antorus - Thu, 30 Nov 2017 02:17:22 -0600The elevator boss is one of the most challenging encounters in WoW, and it's leveled up today with a new deadly ability in Antorus, the Burning Throne.

Players have long struggled in elevators found in zones like Blackwing Descent (Deaths to elevator boss (Blackwing Descent)), as the elevator requires players to avoid taking falling damage while moving off and on at the precise correct time, as well as avoiding harmful effects at the bottom like lava.
